The Washington Times newspaper covers the GovLoop social networking website in the article Bureaucrats tweet for better government; Online water cooler corrals state, local and federal workers, 28 July 2009.
Although the article does not mention it, GovLoop has a Libraries - Local, State and Federal networking group that includes several DGI members in its ranks so far. Take a look at the site. It's a great place not just to talk to other librarians, but to engage the staff who use and make decisions about the library and information service functions in government. GovLoop also welcomes professionals from around the world. GovLoop invites you to "join today if you are: * gov't employee (fed/state/local/intl) * public policy student/professor * good gov't organization * gov't consultants/contractors."
